Apples+
by nessondaniil
Apples+ adds several craftable apples, each surrounded by a material such as emeralds, coal, lapis lazuli or amethyst shards, and each giving a timed potion effect when eaten.
What it does
Each new apple is made from a standard apple surrounded by one kind of material, so the crafting recipe uses the gathered ore or trade goods. The effects vary by apple: one grants Regeneration II for 15 seconds, another Night Vision for two minutes, another Fire Resistance for 30 seconds, another Water Breathing for 45 seconds, and another Luck at level 1 for a minute. An emerald apple gives Hero of the Village at level 1 for a minute, which suits players who trade with villagers.
The additions fit survival play, resource gathering and underwater or Nether exploration, where a short effect can matter more than a full meal. The mod runs on Forge for 1.20.1 only and needs to be installed on the client and the server, so the server and every player must run it. The code is not open source and the mod is released under All rights reserved.

How it compares
Apple Expansion is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 with the same client and server environment, released under the MIT License. GappleCraft 2.0 is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, also client and server and MIT licensed. Apples+ covers 1.20.1 only and is not open source, so it fits a single version and does not change the rest of the food system.
